Some of the symptoms of diabetes (other names for it are high blood sugar and hyperglycemia) are extreme thirst, frequent urination, dry skin, hunger, blurred vision, drowsiness, and nausea.

The only way you can really tell is to have a blood test done.

I definitely think the meds for diabetes decrease our sex drive. In men it is a major problem. It causes impotence. In women, who can tell whether we are in the mood or not unless we say something.

There are two types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. Although they are both forms of diabetes, they are two different diseases. Only 5% of all diabetics have type 1.

Type 1 is an auto-immune disease and usually occurs in childhood, which is why it’s also called Juvenile Diabetes. It’s not caused from eating too much junk food, sugar, or having a poor lifestyle. There is nothing you can do to prevent type 1 diabetes and there is currently no cure, although scientists say they are very close.

Type 2 on the other hand, usually developes in adults and developes slowy over a period of time. This is usually caused by obesity or by poor diet and lifestyle. Type 2 actually can be prevented.

Here are some of the symptoms of Type 1 diabetes. Some of them might apply to type 2 also, but I’m not completely sure…

*Increased thirst
*Frequent urination
*Increased appetite
*Drowsiness, Lethargy
*Sudden weight loss
*Sugar in urine
*Sudden vision changes
*Heavy, labored breathing
*Stupor, Unconsciousness
*Fruity, Sweet, or wine – like odor on breath

Hope this helps!
